Re-contracting customers who enroll in the programme can also enjoy:
- Hassle-free annual upgrades to the latest flagship models, including Samsung Z and S Series and the upcoming iPhone 17.
- Early upgrade eligibility as early as the 12th month of an existing plan, with no need to complete a 24-month contract.
- Worry-free device protection, covering screen repairs, replacements, and device switching.
- Flexible plan options, with one month free for select plans and affordable add-on fees for Plans 2499 and 3799.
Mark Gil Pasaylo, Globe Head of Platinum said, “Our partnership with bolttech allows us to make premium phones very accessible and reachable, a reflection of our commitment to provide curated experiences and customer-centric solutions that truly meet our customers’ needs.”
Alexander Sarmiento, General Manager, Philippines, bolttech said, “We are thrilled to expand our ongoing collaboration with Globe to bring Flagship Forever to customers in the Philippines.
